Computer Science

Computer science aims to cover two distinct, but related aspects. There’s a focus on computer science itself (the ideas and principles that underpin how digital technology works) and this sits alongside the practical experience of programming.

The ‘programming’ and ‘how digital technology works’ projects provide a clear sense of progression and demonstrate what has been learned in previous years, what will be learned in the current project and what will be covered next. The projects ensure that the content is balanced, stimulating and creative.
